This is correct, but so would > A system to opt-out of being > included in this particular system because it would give people the idea that if they don't opt in then their data wouldn't be visible, when in fact anyone can run a software like Pascal's. I think that "raising awareness" is good; and if we could all unite behind the idea that just because someone voluntarily contributes to OSM that shouldn't mean they're automatically sacrificing their privacy then that would already be a great step forward. How the goals of transparency and quality control in the project and the goal of protecting the privacy of the individual contributor can be reconciled is something we can, and should, think about; I would be very happy if as a first step we could at least agree that protecting the privacy of the individual contributor *is* desirable. The knee-jerk "well you knew what you signed up for" reaction doesn't help a vulnerable community member when they see their privacy violated.
